Sims 2 DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters error!

Dear all,

I have downloaded and installed the Sims 2, but when trying to start the game I keep getting this error:
Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer.

I am running Windows 10.
How can I solve this error?

Hello @GingerNinja,

You can try (re-) installing the DirectX9 runtimes; just download and run the directx_Jun2010_redist.exe.

Also make sure please that you copy-pasted the No-Origin file (the Sims2EP9.exe in the #Crack folder) to the correct location. Which is, at least in my case, C:\Program Files\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSBin.

There, replace the existing file when you are prompted. Then try starting the game again. Good luck for now!
